Jean-Gilles getting some of Andrews' snaps
On Sunday, Eagles coach Andy Reid said that starting right guard Stacy Andrews needed "to keep getting better" after his below-average performance Friday against the Bengals.
Apparently, Andrews hasn't gotten good enough in the last few days because Max Jean-Gilles took a few repetitions with the first team at right guard during Wednesday's practice. Jean-Gilles was also getting some snaps at left guard in place of Todd Herremans, who is returning from a foot injury.
The Eagles are practicing indoors to simulate crowd noise in preparation for Friday's game at Kansas City.
If Andrews and Jean-Gilles are to split snaps when the first team plays Friday, it won't be the first time. Andrews was penciled in as the starter for last season's opener. But when game time rolled around, he and Jean-Gilles split right guard duties. Eventually, Andrews was phased out and by the end of the season was inactive on game days.
In injury news, center/guard Nick Cole (knee), defensive end Juqua Parker (ankle), tight end Cornelius Ingram (calf) and kicker David Akers (heel) were missing from practice.
Reid will have an injury report after practice and will provide detailed information on how long the starters play against the Cheifs.

okay andy....Shawn was a head case after his back injury and it was a shame....but your babysitters.....Jason Peters ( a fraud all pro and mr inconsistent) and Stacey (damaged goods and not too good after you switched his position) have shown that experiment to have failed.....good job andy.....and canning Bdawk and Sheldon has served you well right ?????....It is time to put up or shut up (oops you can't shut up anymore than you already do in news conferences) So now we line up with a fraud all pro, and an inured misplaced tackle surounding 3 second tier players that you have coached up.....sad....but I bet the cowgirls are drooling at the chance to scrimage your starting offensive line......Kevin....get you insurance premiums in.....you will not last 5 games.....and then we can only hope Michael still has something left in his legs or he will go down also.....Thanks Andy— nuggett
TRADE FOR LOGAN MANKINS AND CUT THIS STIF ANDREWS!!!!!!
Comment removed.- Another Andrews stealing money. Ship him to the Meadowlands so he and his brother can tag team the Giants next. The Tonner has had it with these Andrews sisters.
Stacy better not turn out to be his brother shawn. I like stacy but he was getting pushed around there against the bengals. Stacy better step up or Gilles or Austin Howard will take his spot.— briandawkins20- Andrews / Jean-Gilles splitting time at RG = DISASTER. Neither is remotely good enough to start on a decent team. Anyone else notice the big push the Bengals' D got UP THE MIDDLE, against these guys? Scary ... especially if my name is Kolb.— CarpGuy
- Use spell check. "starters play against the Cheifs." Really? How long did you spend writing this article? Probably about as long as I did writing this post.— CharlestheHammer

- Counting on an Andrews to produce has set this line back 2-3 years.— Denali
- Could it be that FF Andy Reid brought in not only Peters, but also Stacy Andrews in an effort to coddle and codify that LOSER Shawn Andrews? I think he did and, um, IT FAILED MISERABLY!! Now, we have no Shawn, but we do have Stacy and Peters, who SUCK! But hey, Kolb is the next coming of Joe Montana, so we should be good.— 5NOT4
